:'( I am going crazy right now, a lot of the media in Holland 'forget' to put "accidental" before "overdose" in the headlines on the internet. I want to kick something or even better, somebody.

Well, here in Spain they're saying he died from a lethal combination of different medications. The word overdose is nowhere in sight. They're calling it an intoxication.

Even minutes after the announcement, I heard one commentator, it was either on CNN or MSNBC, say that "we still don't know whether he intentionally overdosed on the prescription drugs." >:(

Does it just mean that he wasn't using them as prescribed?

Yes Sandy, thats exactly what it means. Not unlike Elvis. What happens in many cases, Each production has a Set Dr. usually assigned to it. So the more films you do the more the chances of getting more drugs. These Dr's almost never know what the other has perscribed so within a year you could have a shoe box filled with so called legal drugs of your choice. I see this every day.
Meryl:
Just heard a commentator interview Jonathan Dienst on MSNBC. He was emphatic that the report found the combination of drugs was the cause of death and that they were not found in high doses. He also made it very clear that no illegal drugs had been found on the scene. When asked about the rolled up $20 bill, he repeated the finding that there was no residue found on it.
So yay, at least one media outlet got it right.
